time to make changes on the 429 t-bucket

[retired49]

well i drove it for a couple months and now its time to make some changes and get it painted for next summer. first thing change rear end out something with limited slip and disc brakes all ready in the middle of that change, second change rear shocks out, change windshield, make a small roll bar, and install a stall converter and i am buying the speedway interior and taking the bomber seats out. so iam getting rid of the windshield, rear coilover shocks, bomber seats..here is a couple pics of getting started[

Could you sit comfortably in those seats on a two hour cruise?

 

[retired49]

yes these are very comfortable seats, i am going to the bench seat and interior panels that speedway sells.

Are your rear shocks crooked and too close together? Could be just the picture angle... What are your plans on the windshield? Something taller and more practical?

 

[retired49]

i am taking rear shocks off and replacing them with something with a smaller lb. the ones in the pic was just a little stiff and the windshield yes i am going with the taller one , the 14" wasnt bad until you got up around 80 mph just a little windy

I have the 20" windshield and was still a little windy at higher speeds. Added wind wings gives a good look and cuts down on the wind

What's a little wind? That's what makes for fun in driving a T. The vertical measurement on my windshield is about 9" measured at the center of the cowl. It is laid back 20 degrees. It DEFINITELY keeps your hair out of your eyes!

The top of my windshield is about eye level for me but I sit down IN my car and I'm over 6 foot tall.

Jim, do you have a windshield frame over the glass top or is the top of the windshield glass? Looking through a frame would be frustrating for me.

My windshield is "topless".
